The SABE Peace Walkers: Indigenous Wisdom for Community Safety
“We try to live in a good way and treat others in a good way, and there's no better way to do that than to follow those seven steps.”
What happens when ancient wisdom meets modern community needs? In Osborne Village, Winnipeg, the SABE Peace Walkers are blending Indigenous teachings with contemporary safety strategies. This episode of 'People First Radio' introduces you to Daniel Hidalgo, one of the co-founders of this inspiring initiative. He shares how the SABE Peace Walkers use a relationship-based de-escalation approach to make their community safer. The team, all provincially licensed in security, relies on the seven sacred teachings to guide their efforts.
These teachings help them build meaningful relationships and offer support to those in need. Daniel talks about the challenges they face, especially when working with marginalized communities, and the significant impact their program has had so far. By prioritizing quality over quantity, the SABE Peace Walkers are not just creating a safer community—they're fostering a sense of belonging and mutual respect.
Tune in to hear how this Indigenous-led program is making waves and learn how their model is expanding to other communities.
